Creating constant values

A constant value is a single value that is added to your IBM® Cognos® Incentive Compensation Management Presenter report. It can be a date, text, or numeric value. Constant values can be used as sources in calculated values, so if you need to perform a calculation on a numeric value based on a value that does not change, you could use a constant value.

    • Right-click the Value folder and select Add Value > Constant.

  2. Type a name for the constant value.
  3. Select the type of constant value.

    You can choose from Date, Numeric, or Text.
